Abstract
ACTs have been shown to be effective in treating malaria and are currently recommended as first-line drugs for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Nigeria because of resistance of malaria to chloroquine (CQ) and sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (SP). However, very little is known about malaria and treatment-seeking patterns and the use of ACTs since the adoption of the treatment policy more than 6 years ago in Nigeria.
